What about graphical diff tools?  Should you _not_ use them, because CVS 
has an in-built diff?

Frankly, if even the most proficient committer of QEmu admits to use 
quilt, which is definitely not CVS, you should rethink what you just 
wrote.

Sticking to a tried and proven standard is one thing.

Sticking to an ancient standard that has proven to have severe 
shortcomings (so much so that the ATM most popular central SCM, 
Subversion, claims it is "CVS done right"; that alone should tell you 
something), when there are better alternatives around, which moreover have 
no problems talking back to CVS, is, well, not so clever.

Note that I do not say you should use git.  Just as I do not say you have 
to stick with CVS.

Ciao,
